EMS was called to the area of Jane St. and Eglinton Ave. W. around 6:45 p.m. to what appeared to be a targeted drive-by shooting on a high traffic North York street.

Rescuers discovered two males, ages 23 and 24, with gunshot wounds. Waheed was without vital signs; the surviving victim was rushed to the hospital and is expected to survive. His name has not yet been released.

Waheed was driving south with the other victim in a Nissan hatchback. He stopped at a light when a lone gunman in another vehicle approached them from the rear of their car and fired approximately six shots into the back of the vehicle, Det. Sgt. Hank Idsinga told reporters on Monday night.

The post-mortem examination confirmed the cause of death was a gunshot wound to the chest. Waheed’s death marks Toronto’s 26th homicide.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-7400, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
